Its purpose is to approach to the meaning attributed by the aimara women from Colchane to the public policies related to reproductive health and how it impacts their cosmic vision. Our hypothesis is that the aimara women do not appropriate these public policies on reproductive health as proper because they do not respond to their cultural meaning about the reproductive process.

El proyecto del genoma en la literatura biomédica latinoamericana de cuatro países

Several issues are addressed, such as: little access to prevention and therapeutic methods related to genomic medicine in Latin America; the risk associated to genetic modifications in human beings; lack of equity in the access to health benefits; control by biotechnological companies; commercialization of gene sequences through patents which leads to commercial exploitation of underdeveloped countries; the possibility of physical or psychological damage in the way of stigmatization or genetic discrimination; the possibility of genetic modifications or abortion for eugenic reasons; the necessity of safeguarding confidentiality; the little participation of indigenous communities in the studies done on their DNA, sometimes without proper informed consent; the necessity of legal regulation to prevent the pathway towards enhancement of genetic modifications or reproductive human cloning, and of regulating access to genetic information.
